Ground-Level Offices
In-plant offices and temporary sales huts built from storage containers. Great for ticket booths, press boxes and other event workspaces.

What United Rentals Can Do for You
Let United Rentals be your provider of sports and events management solutions
United Rentals constructs and customizes your temporary building on our facilities and then delivers it to you, allowing you to focus on planning your event.
Modular buildings and modified storage containers can be expanded upon and added onto when needed, such as modular ticket booths when sports seasons pick up.
Using converted shipping containers and modular event structures, the turnaround time for a customized solution is shorter than most other construction methods.
When you leverage United Rentals event storage containers and mobile offices, you save time and money over traditional stick-built construction, which helps to trim down budgets.
5-plex Modified Container Portable Trade Show Booth
Shortly after the 2018 EAA AirVenture, a gathering of 600,000-plus aviation enthusiasts in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, our Green Bay branch was asked to inspect an aging five container complex.
We were also tasked with developing a solution to repair the unit so it was more visually appealing and didn’t leak during rainstorms. Upon inspection, it was apparent that the unit was not salvageable. Incorrect structure modifications, substandard craftsmanship and mold issues were pointed out to the customer, so the decision was made to build a new “high-end” complex.
The idea was simple: produce an extraordinary show space for an aircraft engine supplier to display its products and services for the 100th anniversary of the EAA AirVenture.
Our Green Bay branch was tasked with building a new 5-plex custom storage container that included a conference room, small office, utility room, ample show space and second-floor observation deck. We worked closely with the customer’s architect and engineer to design a suitable space that encompassed the customer’s vision. It was also important to incorporate appropriate construction techniques to ensure the unit would last for years to come.
Work began on this project in early January 2019. Our team disassembled the existing unit and tried to repurpose what they could in the new structure. After the demo, we scrapped the original building and got to work planning the new complex. In April, our team brought units into the modification shop one at a time, made the appropriate modifications, and then moved them one by one into the spray booth for spray foam and paint. Once the paint was complete, we assembled the five-container complex inside the mod shop to create the interior.
After the unit was complete, we loaded it onto trucks, convoyed it to the EAA grounds and craned it into place.
All in all, it took 1,513 hours of teamwork and dedication to produce this outstanding project. This project made its debut at the 2019 EAA AirVenture on Monday, July 22, 2019. Our Green Bay team also supplied space solutions to numerous other vendors at this event. Besides this 5-plex container trade show booth, we had shipping containers, ground level offices and mobile offices on site. It was great to be part of this project with our customers and to once again be a part of the EAA AirVenture event.
